The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 57:14

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

And shall say; rather, and one said. The prophet hears a voice, saying, Cast ye up, cast ye up; i.e. make a highway to the holy mountain by heaping up material (Isaiah 62:10); and, having made it, remove every obstruction from the path of my (righteous) people.

The voice is, probably, an angelic one.
